Winter Snowstorm

Since we are getting a major snow storm, we have been inside--and getting some cabin fever! I keep thinking about a time when the girls are older and able to play with each other and Jack. In the meantime, Jack and I have been playing a lot of card and board games, "cooking" Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner in Jack's play kitchen, checking out at the grocery store with the cash register, baking cookies and even jumping and running around! The girls are getting so strong! They are holding and playing with toys. They love interaction with us and each other. They love lights and music. They are still great at taking their bottles and sleeping through the night. We are working on naps in their cribs. I usually have to wake Kate from one of her naps each day (she has gone three hours), while Elizabeth is the first one up ALWAYS! She must have her internal clock set at thirty minutes--just like Jack did at her age. And, since I always get questions on their weights: Anna is now 9 lbs. 10 oz. Kate and Elizabeth are about the same weight. In the last week, Elizabeth outweighed Kate slightly, but today, they flip-flopped. Elizabeth was 8 lbs. 8 oz. and Kate was 8 lbs. 10 oz.

I thought this was a cute picture of Kate and Anna. I don't stage these photos, the girls seem to be realizing each other.
Jack is such a good helper! I find him comforting the girls in the mornings when I am getting everything organized. He will talk to whoever is fussy and bring them toys. Most of the time, it works too! The girls already adore their big brother.
All the sudden, he is so grown up!
When you have triplets, you end up with toys like this one in the house. Yikes!! The girls love it.
